Taylor cements historic Bobcat career

By Kobe Arriaga Sports Reporter

Texas State women's basketball has a rich history of success and excellence, both on and off the court. Graduate guard Kennedy Taylor has been one of the best playmakers in the Sun Belt Conference throughout her career, constantly showcasing what it truly means to be a Bobcat athlete.

Working hard both on the court and in the classroom is what’s most important to Taylor, and her work speaks for itself. Taylor has been on the receiving end of multiple accolades in the Sun Belt Conference and within her academic studies.

Standing at 5-foot-3-inches, Taylor is considered an undersized guard in the game of basketball but it doesn’t restrict her ability to score, pass and defend players on an elite level. Taylor said that she always believed in heart over height.

Head coach Zenarae Antoine believes that she's improved defensively over the years, and she can still thrive in other areas which combine to make her a unique player.

“She’s feisty, I mean how many times have you seen her go up against a 6-foot-4 kid and just snatch that ball,” Antoine said. “It’s no surprise to us and the people that know her that she plays much bigger than what you can visually see.”
